Prayer & Meditation

“We shouldn’t be shy on this matter of prayer. ... It works, if we have the proper attitude and work at it.” (Pg.85-86)

A "proper attitude" means we “sweep away prejudice and think honestly, to encourage diligent self-reflection.”

The Evening Review

When we retire at night, we “constructively review our day” by asking:

"We thank God for His grace and ask for forgiveness, then consider what corrective measures should be taken."

Morning: On Awakening

Before we begin our day, we “ask God to direct our thinking,” specifically requesting that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest, or self-seeking motives (Pg.86).

• The Objective: How can I "fit myself to be of maximum service to God and the people about me"?
• The Guidance: We ask for an intuitive thought or a decision, then relax and take it easy.
